Types of Rectifiers and The Most Common Alarms
Types of Rectifiers and The Most Common Alarms
Battery C.Bs
DELTA 2 (AMS - PSC 1000)
It’s forbidden to put any load at battery bar (As the below case). This problem leads to
defect all site batteries as batteries will deep discharge during any power cut.
If we discover any load at a battery bar at any rectifier, you must know what is this load
and arrange AP to relocate it at load bar.
Battery C.Bs
ASCOM (PSC 1000)
DELTA 1, DELTA 2, ASCOM (PSC 1000)
The most common Alarms at the PSC 1000: UA: Urgent Alarm, NUA: Non Urgent Alarm.
1. UA RM Failure: Faulty Rectifier module. Will cleared once remove or replace the faulty
module.
2. NUA Tbatt high/low: Batteries temperature exceeds the adjusted level. To clear it, press
down arrow then Tbatt. The normal settings at the rectifiers is that high temp alarm will
activated at the rectifier screen when Tbatt is higher than 28° and cleared when Tbatt is
lower than 25°. We should check the A/C and the cooling system.
3. UA Alarm 1: means that rectifier surge arrestor has a problem at the slots or at the surge
base.
4. UA Load Fuse or Batt Fuse: One of load or Batt C.Bs trip off. Will clear once trip on
the C.Bs. Must check charging current settings.
5. UA HW Failure: Hardware failure, appears when temp sensor is faulty. Press down
arrow then Tbatt, if Tbatt is appeared ***, you should check temp sensor connections.
DELTA 3 (PSC 3)
Battery C.Bs
DELTA 3, DELTA 4 (PSC 3)
To get Temperature Coefficient, go to Main Menu, 7. Battery Function , 7.1 Float Charge,
then, Tcoef.
To get Ibatt max., go to Main Menu, 7. Battery Function, 7.10 Battery Para, Batt 1 or
Batt Shunt then Ibatt max.
The PSC 3 save its data automatically so we don’t have to save it.
DELTA 3, DELTA 4 (PSC 3)
The most common Alarms at the PSC 3: URG: Urgent Alarm, NURG: Non Urgent Alarm.
1. URG RFA: Faulty Rectifier module. Will cleared once replace the faulty module or
adjust the rectifier settings.
2. NURG Tbatt high/low: Batteries temperature exceeds the adjusted level. Go to Main
Menu then 1. DC-SYS status then temp or Tbatt. The normal settings at the rectifiers is
that high temp alarm will activated at the rectifier screen when Tbatt is higher than 28°
and cleared when Tbatt is lower than 25°. We should check the A/C and the cooling
system.
3. URG VDR True: means that rectifier surge arrestor has a problem at the slots or at the
surge base.
4. URG Load Fuse or Batt Fuse: One of load or Batt C.Bs trip off. Will clear once trip on
the C.Bs. Must check charging current settings.
DELTA 3, DELTA 4 (PSC 3)
To get Alarm menu, from the home screen, press enter, then down arrow till 3. Alarms
then Alarm list be appeared.
The most common Alarms at the PSC 3: URG: Urgent Alarm, NURG: Non Urgent Alarm.
5. URG HW Failure: Hardware failure, appears when temp sensor is faulty. Go to Main
Menu then 1. DC-SYS status then temp or Tbatt. If Tbatt is appeared as ***, you should
check temp sensor connections. If the problem still exist, Tbatt Sensor needs to be
replaced.

To get Temperature
Coefficient, go to Adjust
Limits, Temperature
Compensation, then,
Comp. Factor.
If Bat. Current with a value higher than 1 A, we can’t proceed starting the BDT till batteries
fully charged.

- You must check the rectifier module configuration and make sure that it’s configured as the
below capture.
NSN (CONT.)
- You must check the CU configuration and make sure that it’s configured as the below capture.
NSN (CONT.)
- You must check the Battery Related Parameter and make sure that it’s configured as the below
capture.
NSN (CONT.)
- You must check the System Related Parameter and make sure that it’s configured as the below
capture. Charging current limit is adjusted to be 30 A per string.

- After changing the PDA, You must make firmware upgrade and make sure that the current
version is R3D. If you changed two PDAs, you must make firmware upgrade at each PDA. From
Maintenance, Firmware Upgrade, Current Version.
